Man shatters slack line record 1,000 feet in the sky with zero safety gear

Spencer Seabrooke just shattered the highest slacklining record and confirmed all our fears of heights in one fell swoop. Conquering the 210-foot gap between two mountains in Squamish, BC seemed like no big feat for the professional daredevil from British Columbia. The video above shows him stepping carefully over the 951-foot drop – and expertly catching his falls – barely breaking a sweat.

Videographer Zachary Moxley captured the nail-biting scene with his drone earlier this month. The record was broken by a mere 7 meters, which means heights such as these have been traversed before with nary a harness or safety measure. This detail is what, perhaps, makes this story even more awesome.

Seabrooke is a founder of SlackLife BC, an adventure-seeker’s dream. The sport was first made popular in the 1980’s in California’s Yosemite National Park and includes walking across nylon webbing, which makes it different than non-stretchy tightrope walking. If you’re still holding your breath, it’s safe to let it out.
